Is it PTR or beta?

I've been hearing about the new patch being on the PTR and decided to download the PTR client to my new computer today. When I go to Bnet, I see my game client for Wrath and another for Wrath PTR, nothing about Cata anywhere. I started to download and now I have a downloader screen with Cataclysm artwork that says this:

"World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Beta Patch Notes (version 12942)

Welcome to the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta test! Patch notes listed here....."

Anyway, my husband is in Cata and I know that's not how it normally works. I have gotten tons of fake e-mails in the past 2 months and checked my Bnet but never have seen the Cata client. Did I somehow get into beta by logging in and downloading the PTR? That PTR client link has been on my account since way before beta ever started. I'm really confused now. Help! :)

The downloader frame also says Cataclysm and the notes say that the worgen/goblin starting areas are available for testing, which I have heard those are not on the PTR yet.

Good to know. Thanks for the responses.

Enjoy the PTR, Helmandria. Thank you for taking the time to help us ensure the content on the Test Realm is ready to be pushed live. ;0)
